Description:
This is a remarkable, museum-quality find: an original 1943 WWII-era studio portrait hand-signed by the legendary American cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller.
While Bushmiller is world-renowned for creating the iconic comic strip Nancy, his early and mid-career work as a professional photographer is highly sought after by niche collectors. This portrait features a family group (Grandparents, Mother, and Baby) captured with the sharp detail and masterful lighting Bushmiller was known for.
The Frame:
The photo comes housed in its original period-correct metal frame.
* Design: Features an elegant Art Deco/Late-1930s style with an intricate embossed floral scroll pattern.
* Construction: Heavy-duty metal (likely brass-plated steel) with a premium dark brown velvet/plush backing.
* Display: Includes the original tabletop easel stand and metal retaining tabs.
Why This is Collectible:
* Historical Significance: Dated 1943, providing a poignant glimpse into American life during World War II.
* Crossover Appeal: Appeals to collectors of Comic Art history, WWII memorabilia, and Antique Photography.
* Authenticity: Includes the distinct, stylized "Bushmiller" signature in the lower right corner of the mat.
Please see all photos for a close-up of the signature and the excellent condition of the velvet backing.
